Base Elements – collaborating with Nú Ninja and Artspace Tours – organized for the first time a Urban Reality mini festival during the last holiday season. Visitors could enjoy series of weekend celebrations, artist hang-outs, group show, live events and much more! For those who couldn’t attend the event, from the inauguration to the mini-markets, here is a quick resume of what you missed out.

The Urban Reality mini festival started with an inauguration party at Base Element gallery on November 29th. This friday night, a DJ set done by some of the artists themselves – Ashwan and SOEM – animated the groupshow. New installations and artworks were especially brought for the event thus creating a unique atmosphere to the party. There was no better way to start this Mini Festival than with good music, drinks and great art!

In December, the gallery also held the Perspective party with an astounding DJ set. The DJ´s Zander, Phoenix Rae, Carlo Gossa, Alex Clavijo, Moreon and Kenso participated and mixed to this 2nd edition surrounded by a colorful Ashwan piece made with only carton.

Each weekends, visitors could meet the artists and get to know their work with pop-up markets happening every Saturday. With the guest artists – Riq Etiq, Disneylexya, David Young, Nevenka, Baita and Kamil – at the gallery especially for the event, we undoubtedly had a blast! Moreover, you could also discover new installations, live paintings and DJ sets. Last but not least, Artspace Tours offered during the Mini Festival free guided art tours starting from the gallery.

Big thanks to everybody that were involved with putting up the Urban Reality Mini Festival and special thanks to the artists for the unique vibes they created during to this event.

Two weeks ago, we inaugurated the Urban Reality Mini-Festival organized by Base Elements, Nú Ninja and Artspace Tours. Art is Trash, Cane, D.A.T, Soem, Disneylexya, Baita Studio… Many artists assisted to the inauguration party on Friday 29th. Some of them will still be around for a couple weeks as they will animate the mini-festival every weekends during the holiday season. Pop-up markets, group shows, live events, DJ sets, visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists and to discover their work. Moreover, Artspace Tours offers a free street art tour every Saturdays at 4pm from the gallery.

During the party, guest artists such as Konair, Nevenka, Baita Studio, Disneylexya, and many more have shared their artwork. From the amazing recycled chandelier by Baita Studio to the Art is Trash installation, visitors could enjoy great art and an inimitable good vibes!

This weekend, Base Elements assisted to the 23rd edition of the sustainable festival Drap Art. This art platform allows artists, designers and artisans from different countries to create and sensitize the public on the environment with a concept of «objet trouvé». Moreover, it supports promote well-known but also emerging artists who work with discarded materials and recycle them.

Art is Trash and SOEM were also present and offered a live art show with bulky goods and boxes. Once finished, the artistic collaboration gave a funny but clear message to the visitors about environmental, social and economic problems. Other artists’ artworks – such as Julien Deniau, Álvaro Soler-Arpa, Kenor and many more – were exposed at the festival. Each of these pieces had their own way to referred to the theme of the event and the issues it points out. From the chandelier, the skateboard to plastic containers and teddy bears, the participants have presented interesting works that might make you think twice before throwing away any of your old belongings.
